Tomatoes!

First harvest-in-bulk

The slicers, sauce, and grape tomatoes are in!  If you don't know what that means, here's a rundown of my use of the terms:

Slicers or beefsteak are excellent for sandwiches or other fresh slices of tomatoes.  They are the traditional round tomato shape and juicier than sauce tomatoes.  Some of ours are heirloom Brandywines, Mortgage Lifter, Rose de Berne (pink), Cherokee Purple (red/purple), and Pruden's Purple (red/purple).

Sauce tomatoes are usually more elongated.  They are more meaty/less juicy than slicers.  Common ones are called Roma or Marzano.  We are growing Amish Paste, Opalka, Grandma Mary's, Orange Banana (orange).

Grape tomatoes are "two-bite" cherry tomatoes... a little too large to eat in one bite, but small enough to snack on.  They are very prolific plants, so we will have buckets available.  This variety is Principe Borghese, and is the traditional variety used for sun-dried tomatoes. We will also have cherry tomatoes.

Not all of these will be available at any one time, but we should have a good daily variety.  If you are interested, please message us through our facebook page!
